1. Which outcome, focused on recovery, would be expected in the plan of
care for a patient living in the community and diagnosed with serious and
persistent mental illness? Within 3 months, the patient will:
a. deny suicidal ideation.
b. report a sense of well-being.
c. take medications as prescribed.
d. attend clinic appointments on
time. ANS: B
Recovery emphasizes managing symptoms, reducing psychosocial disability, and
improving role performance. The goal of recovery is to empower the individual
with mental illness to achieve a sense of meaning and satisfaction in life and to
function at the highest possible level of wellness. The incorrect options focus on
the classic medical model rather than recovery.
2. A patient is hospitalized for depression and suicidal ideation after their
spouse asks for a divorce. Select the nurse’s most caring comment.
a. Let us discuss some means of coping other than suicide when you have these feelings.
b. I understand why you are so depressed. When I got divorced, I was devastated too.
c. You should forget about your marriage and move on with your life.
d. How did you get so depressed that hospitalization was
necessary? ANS: A
The nurses communication should evidence caring and a commitment to work
with the patient. This commitment lets the patient know the nurse will help.
Probing and advice are not helpful or therapeutic interventions.
